Toy Story 2
100%TomatometerSome things are too good to shelve.
BIG FEELINGS
Only Yesterday.
Growing up looks different from here.
On a trip from Tokyo to the countryside, adult Taeko remembers her schooldays and family life. Meeting a young farmer prompts her to reconsider what she wanted as a child and what she wants now.
Why it’s a little special
A gently paced conversation starter about memory, family expectations and how childhood shapes adult choices.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Discussion of puberty and menstruation, school teasing and a scene in which a father slaps his daughter. Smoking, emotional family conflict and adult romantic themes; a reflective drama rather than a fast adventure.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
